Chapter 1009: Chapter 551: Only the Victor Faces the Court-Martial (6K)
"Everyone, I won’t say much nonsense. Yelu City is now in the hands of our Jieke Group. Do you want to take back this Holy City?"
Hao Guyu looked at these Greens, his voice carrying a seductive undertone.
"Will our Holy City be returned to us?"
The Ba people in the audience instantly erupted. Yelu City had long been under the actual control of You Tai Country, and the Ba people dreamed of reclaiming this city as their capital. But as You Tai Country grew more powerful, they saw no hope.
And now, an opportunity was within reach.
"That’s right, our Jieke Group is not You Tai Country; we have no greed for your land and no intention of controlling this city. However, since this city was painstakingly captured by our Jieke Group, if you want it back, you must show us sincerity. It’s fortunate we have a common enemy. And now that Yelu City houses a large number of You Tai, you wouldn’t want your Holy City to have more You Tai than your own people, would you? This requires you to take action."
Hao Guyu’s voice was like a demon whispering, stirring the emotions of the Greens present.
The emotion of each Green was immediately ignited. They looked at the bound You Tai believers, and some smart ones quickly realized what kind of sincerity the Jieke Group wanted.
"Brothers and sisters, these You Tai believers have occupied our Holy City for too long. Their very existence defiles our Holy City. Let us represent divine punishment together and judge these heretics who bring disaster to the world. Use the Stone Punishment to smash them, let their blood prove our loyalty to the God, warriors of the True Lord, charge! For the Holy City, for the True Lord."
A Green priest picked up a stone from the ground and walked towards the You Tai believers.
The Stone Punishment is a method of execution by bludgeoning to death, where the victim is buried in sand and pelted to death with rocks. Typically, males are buried up to the waist and females up to the chest, and the executioners repeatedly throw stones at the victim. If the executed woman is married with children, her children must be present to watch, and her father and family must declare her no longer their daughter and participate in throwing stones. The stones used for execution are specially selected to ensure a painful death, equivalent to being stoned to death alive, which is an extremely cruel punishment.
Currently, conditions are limited, but the Greens aren’t picky.
With someone leading, the other Greens immediately joined in. One by one, they stepped forward, picked up the stones on the ground, and quickly walked towards those You Tai believers.
Pop!
Under the terrified gazes of those You Tai believers, a Green was the first to raise a stone and heavily threw it onto a You Tai Priest.
As a You Tai Priest, he was a well-known figure in Yelu City and naturally received more hatred.
The dense stones fell like rain, continuously hitting the You Tai Priest.
His skull was cracked, teeth knocked out, flesh torn apart, bones broken; he collapsed to the ground, emitting a series of horrifying screams.
"Don’t hit, stop, I surrender, I am willing to submit and listen to you."
The You Tai Priest knelt and kowtowed frantically to Hao Guyu, hoping Hao Guyu would show mercy and stop the Greens.
At this moment, the You Tai Priest no longer had the previously arrogant demeanor; his entire face was a picture of humble pleading for life.
"Our Jieke Group has no need for your You Tai Sect to submit. Keeping you is useless, as our President Su once said, he doesn’t like unfinished projects."
Hao Guyu sneered, ignoring the You Tai Priest’s pleas for surrender and obedience.
Seeing this, the other Greens became even more excited. With Jieke Group turning a blind eye, they all put every ounce of strength into their throws, venting years of suppressed anger from being bullied by the You Tai on these You Tai believers.
After being hit by hundreds of stones, the You Tai Priest died a miserable death, and by the end, his corpse was half-buried under the stone pile.
After the death of the You Tai Priest, the Greens at the scene kept shouting that the True Lord was above, then continued to enact the Stone Punishment on the other You Tai believers.
In the Green Sect, there is an ancient punishment here called the Stone Punishment.
Stones were continuously thrown amid the screams of the You Tai believers, making the scene especially bloody and terrifying.
Hao Guyu took out a camera to record and document the event.
Later, even if someone accused them, they could blame it on the Greens.
After dealing with the You Tai believers, the Wailing Wall was completely toppled and destroyed.
This was only the beginning. On Temple Mount, there were other religious buildings constructed by the You Tai Sect, which naturally did not escape the Jieke Group’s destruction.
And as Temple Mount fell under the iron heel of Jieke Group, ravaged severely, it also meant that the last forces of You Tai resistance in Yelu City had been eliminated.
But the battle did not end with the collapse of the You Tai Army.
Because there were still many You Tai living in Yelu City who hid in their home basements and bomb shelters, fortunately escaping the disaster.
It was unknown who incited them, but other ethnic groups in the city besides the You Tai Sect began to mobilize on a large scale.
During the bombing of Yelu City, the Jieke Group only bombed the areas where the You Tai lived. Other ethnicities, having been suppressed by the You Tai over the years, resided on the outskirts of the city, while the central parts of the city were largely inhabited by You Tai. Therefore, they were not much affected by the conflict.
